Afair (I might be wrong) AWS and a big chunk of the industry is promoting Iceberg over Delta. Delta is mostly backed up by Databricks.

What I understand from what GP was saying, is that AI Alignment today is more akin to trying to analyze and reduce error in an already fitted linear regressor rather than aligning AI behaviour and values to expected ones. Perhaps that has t

Looks very cool! I will take a look, tysm!

Yeah, it just would be great if it already did so and I hope it supports Iceberg soon, as it would enable me to change expensive (and bad) engines like AWS Athena for something more manageable. Don't get me wrong, I'm just being a

He's very good at doing startup/scaleup management, in a ruthless/snakey skill level. I think that's something everyone can agree. But vision? I'm not so sure, he had great company and help along the way, and now th

All that YC/VC experience paid off, they're the masters of gutting things from the inside out in the name of growth.

Sure, but at least it would've been tethered to someone who actually knew him. Remove that and any humanity in the quote banishes.

You know you are in front of the impending explosion of a bubble when discussions shift from products themselves and towards who will be working with whom.

If Ive had said that himself, it wouldn't be weird. But Sama didn't know Jobs well enough to put words in his mouth.

Narcissistic ego stroking. He literally is invoking and thinking out loud for a dead man, who was not that intimate with him, just to validate his own ventures and acquihires. Very weird. It wouldn't be that weird if Ive had said so hi

Wikimedia or someone else could offer some kind of MCP service/proxy/whatever for real-time data consumption (i.e. for use cases where the dump data is not useful enough), billed by usage.

Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure the 16" models from 2019 also had a touch bar, although as you said the keyboard was much better.

Pieces of shit. And then they assign you a score for each travel, as if you are really "carpooling" when in reality is a shitty taxi replacement (not that taxis are on a moral high ground, but the point still stands).

Yep. The 2010 Chilean earthquake and tsunami[1] is an example of what can happen in this country during catastrophes: sacking and looting. Since then night curfews are a given during and after disasters. [1] https://en.m.wikipedi

Bill Gates dedicated to white-washing his image after MSFT antitrust case. I mean, philanthropy is great, even more if it is sincere. But lets not forget the kind of business man he was before the 2000s.

It has served us relatively fine for thousands of years. LLMs? I'm waiting for one that knows how not to say something that is clearly wrong with extreme confidence, reasoning or not.

Give a group of "average human" two years, give or take 6 months, and they will also saturate the benchmark and probably some humans would beat the SOTA LLM/RLM. People tend to do so all the time, with games for example.
